Yesterday was one of those rare days we've had around here lately, IT WAS WARM!!! I had been hoping to get it in early in May, but that was not to be.
The boat was at Midwest Marine in Antioch where it was being summerized. My buddy Rick went with me so he could drive it back to his place where we dock it. I was happy to get a free launch by the Sandbar. Most places on the Chain these days the charge is $15-$20 unless you go over to the Chain of Lakes State Park where it is free, but that's a good little drive.
I dropped the trailer off at Kora's, where we keep it for the summer, then met Rick at his place.
FIRST BOATING OF THE SEASON
I was sure happy to find the radio was working again. The cassette player conked out last season and then the radio followed. I have Rick's son Matt looking for a new one, but finding something that will play cassettes is no easy task these days.
Boated across the lake to Electric Harbor and sat out by the gazebo and enjoyed their Monday special-- $1 domestic bottles, a great deal anymore. Just a perfect day.
Then checked out Baja Benny's (the old Costello's) and they have a bucket of five domestic bottles for $10 for a Mon-Thurs special all summer. Even $2 a bottle is a good deal.
My goal is to boating at least 40 times this season, which will most-likely end around mid-October.

And speaking of questions, Here's the Dumb Question of the Day: Can you cry under water?
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
